Good Luck, I don't know why your doing what your doing but it seems awfully wrong to me...but I'm not a breeder or shower.
Will you answer me this? Who is the owner of the dog, presently? |
Not in Canada or the USA ... to my knowledge. In an emergency situation a breeder might have to place their pregnant female, but would do their utmost to place her with an experienced breeder. Breeders will informallly or formally create little groups, where we share info and can help each other out. For eg; when one of my friends bitches had a problem whelping, we came. ONe helped the breeder bring the female to the vet, while I stayed in house keeping pups warm, and was bottle feeding until their return. This trust is not built overnight. And usually ideally (imo) starts with the mentor/student relationship. It is a part of how the student "learns". And a very important practical part.
And BTW there are some schools of thought that say; breeding back to back at least once is ideal. I am still of old school of thought though. Have not seen enough research to validate above.
